AN ELDERLY Chinese couple refused to leave their home after local officials ordered it demolished for a new highway, claiming the compensation would not be enough for them to rebuild.

Homeowners Luo Baogen and his wife refused to allow the government to demolish their home in Xiazhangyang, Zhejiang province, forcing authorities to build a new motorway around their half-demolished block of flats.

Demolition experts left the apartments either side of the Luao's intact to prevent the building collapsing.

After decades of rapid urbanisation which have seen old districts of Chinese cities razed to the ground to make way for new developments, a recent change in the law means that authorities are unable to demolish homes without the owner's formal consent.

Luo Baogen and his wife are the latest examples of a new trend in Chinese civil disobedience, the refuseniks who won't make way for new construction projects: dubbed "nail householders" because they are like the nails which are hard to remove from planks of wood.

Good on them, but they'll be forced out if the party cuts off their power and water and speeding cars make it impossible to leave or enter the house.

Highway home finally gets the chop

BEIJING: Authorities have demolished a five-storey home that stood incongruously in the middle of a new main road and had become the latest symbol of resistance by Chinese homeowners against officials accused of offering unfair compensation.

The Xiayangzhang village chief, Chen Xuecai, said the house was bulldozed on Saturday after its owners, duck farmer Luo Baogen and his wife, agreed to accept compensation of 260,000 yuan ($40,000).

There was no immediate confirmation from Mr Luo, whose mobile phone was turned off on Saturday.

The couple had been the lone holdouts from a neighbourhood that was demolished to make way for the main thoroughfare heading to a newly built railway station on the outskirts of the city of Wenling in Zhejiang province.

A week ago images of the house circulated widely online in China, triggering a flurry of domestic and foreign media reports about the latest ''nail house'', as buildings that remain standing as their owners resist development are called.

Mr Luo, 67, had just completed his house at a cost of about 600,000 yuan when the government approached him with their standard offer of 220,000 yuan to move out, which he refused, Mr Chen has previously said.

The offer then went up to 260,000 yuan last week.

The story has made it's way all around the world so you would think they could have offered him full replacement cost, even for commercial reasons :?:

China Accidentally Built a Housing Complex in the Middle of a Highway

Posted Image

There's no denying that China doesn't have the best record when it comes to urban planning and development, particularly in regards to real estate—and their most recent blunder is a doozy. Thanks to some poor planning and (presumably poor) communication, China accidentally built a brand new set of modern apartments right in the middle of an eight-lane highway. Your very own permanent, honking sound soother.

The whole thing started when a block of residents in Xi'an, Shaanxi province in western China were uprooted to make room for a soon-to-be-constructed public park. In exchange for the inconvenience, tenants were promised a brand new, block of modern apartments—it's just too bad city planners forgot about that little eight-lane superhighway they were going to build in the exact same place. Whoops.

The previously-relocated residents got a few months of peace and quiet in their new homes before the council came a-knockin' and politely asked if they would move out of their brand new homes, please. As you can imagine, these involuntary nomads weren't happy. Plus, after all that park and highway and fancy apartment construction, council funds were running low. And since it could barely offer any reasonable amount of compensation, the tenants refused to accept what little it did.

Left with no other options, the council just built the highway around the new building, bringing an eight-lane highway to four. And everything considered, the tenants actually seem to be taking it pretty well. As one resident, Shing Su, told The Daily Mail:

We don't exactly like being stuck out in the middle of a 60metre-wide highway, but you get used to it. If they make a decent offer most would move, but it's hard as it seems we had only settled here when we were asked to move.

But the best/saddest part of the story? The highway hasn't done anything to help the horrible rush-hour congestion—the whole reason it was built in the first place. It was all done for nothing.
